I’m the Cancer Center Director/Executive Vice President for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In this role I oversee the research activities spanning basic laboratory, clinical and population-based research within our National Cancer Institute designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. In addition I lead strategic planning for cancer research at St. Jude. I am also an active physician scientist, both overseeing my own research laboratory, which studies SWI/SNF, the most frequently mutated chromatin regulator in human cancer, and serving as attending physician on our leukemia/lymphoma service.
